Summary

Steep slopes can cause headaches for property owners, especially when the ground starts to erode or becomes tough to maintain. This project called for a new retaining wall to help manage a sloping backyard and give the space a more finished look.

The Work

Laid out and excavated the site for proper wall placement
Installed a compacted 2A aggregate base for stability
Built the wall using Versa-Lok Standard blocks, caps, and pins
Added drainpipe, fabric, and clean 2B drainage stone to manage water
Completed wall installation with compacted backfill and thorough cleanup

The Outcome

The new wall holds back soil, helps prevent erosion, and gives the yard a neat, structured appearance. It also makes mowing and upkeep much easier for the homeowner. If you have a similar slope or space that needs extra support, let’s talk about what’s possible.
